Turtle Bay wants to put in outdoor seating area on Flag Market

A Caribbean-themed restaurant in Preston wants to expand its outdoor seating area.

Turtle Bay, which faces into the Flag Market and Cheapside, has applied for a permanent outdoor eating and drinking area.

The restaurant chain has put forward images of its Huddersfield restaurant to show how the structures for the outdoor seating area would look.

Plans from Turtle Bay show how it would sit to the left of the main entrance from the Flag Market, and have space for up to 18 customers.

It would also wrap around and down the Cheapside side of the restaurant with tables and chairs with no covering.

Lancashire Police say in a letter they have no objections as long as the new outdoor seating areas are fully covered by CCTV cameras.

Turtle Bay opened in 2014 in Preston is ranked 39th out of 461 restaurants in and around Preston with four out of five stars.
